DOTHAN – Caring for an aging parent is something many of us will face, and it often arrives with more questions than answers. How do you know when your loved ones need help, and where do you begin? Which financial and legal documents should be in place? What care options are out there, and what might they cost? How can you support your parents without putting your own financial future at risk?
These are not questions anyone wants to sort out in the middle of a crisis. That’s why SARCOA, Alabama Cares, Pinnacle Financial Partners, and Synovus are coming together to offer families a free Financial Wellness Workshop, “Caring for Aging Parents: Knowing When and How to Help,” on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A complimentary lunch will be provided, so you can learn, ask questions, and connect with others in a warm, welcoming setting.
The workshop will be held at SARCOA’s new building, 1075 South Brannon Stand Road in Dothan.
Organizers hope the workshop will help families feel more prepared and less alone as they navigate the financial and practical challenges of caring for aging loved ones.
To reserve a spot, RSVP by Sunday, Nov. 15, by emailing jacquelyn.shope@sarcoa.org. Registration is required to receive a free lunch.
